Pros and Cons

MSI WS66

Strengths

Honestly with the features on offer here I could see myself picking this to replace my current older personal laptop
The build quality is decent, the screen in my unit was good in terms of bleed, brightness and colour gamut
I'd use it for content creation on the go, no problems, but the 144Hz option does also let you to kick back with some games at the end of the day if that's your preference
The battery life was good, and internals were also fair with 2 M.2 slots, 2 memory slots and WiFi chip
You've got the option of Xeon processor and ECC memory too, should you require those
The I/O was pretty good, all USB 3.2 Gen2, no older Gen1 here, and while Thunderbolt, two Type-C ports and 2.5 gigabit ethernet is nice
The performance seemed pretty decent, and higher temps are a trade off with good performance in a thinner chassis
It's worth buying for content creation on the go

Weaknesses

The build quality could be better
The screen may not be suitable for all users due to bleed, brightness and colour gamut issues
There are no USB Type-A ports (except one) which can be limiting in some situations
The front facing speakers were not great
MSI are using slightly slower DDR4-2666 memory despite the Intel 10th gen supporting 2933
Internals can run hot under heavy workloads
There's no option for OLED panel which is available on some other laptops
The single USB Type-A port may be limiting in certain situations

MSI WS66

The MSI WS66 workstation laptop is an impressive device that bridges the gap between work and play. Its sleek design belies its robust performance, with a powerful processor and dedicated graphics card making it suitable for demanding tasks such as content creation and 3D modeling. A range of display options, including a 4K panel, add to its appeal, while decent battery life and upgradable internals make it a solid investment for professionals on the go.

Razer Blade 15

The Razer Blade 15 is a luxury gaming laptop that defies convention with its understated design and premium price tag. While flashy light bars and dot matrix displays may be common in this segment, the Blade 15's clean lines and sturdy aluminum chassis make it stand out as a portable gaming opulence experience. But at $3,700, does its performance and build quality justify the hefty price?
